[Amended 3-8-2016 ATM
by Art. 3]
The purpose of this district is to maintain the integrity of
the existing shorefront residential district and protect the shorefront
from over-development. Further, the Town recognizes the importance
of implementing water quality protection standards in order to protect
the shorelands within the Town of Wolfeboro, since they are among
its most valuable and fragile natural resources, and that the protection
of these shorelands is essential to maintain the integrity and exceptional
quality of the waters.
Dimensional controls shall be as follows:
A. Minimum lot area: 43,560 square feet.
B. Minimum lot frontage: 150 feet.
C. Minimum shore frontage: 150 feet. (Shore frontage shall be measured
in fifty-foot straight line increments.)
Permitted uses shall be as follows:
A. One single detached dwelling.
C. One boathouse, as an accessory structure, in compliance with the
following standards:
(1) Purpose and intent. The purpose is to preserve the integrity of the
surface waters of the Town, especially the more sensitive smaller
lakes and ponds. All shoreline structures shall be constructed so
as to insure safe navigation, to minimize reduction of water availability
for public use, to promote higher water quality and safety conditions,
to avoid changes in surface and subsurface conditions that would be
deleterious to fish and wildlife habitat, and to avoid changes in
water movements that might cause erosion or siltation.
(2) Definition. For the purposes of this subsection, "boathouse" means
a docking facility which has a permanent roof with or without sides
covering the boat slip or slips. A boathouse must be an accessory
structure to the principal permitted structure.
(3) An existing boathouse may be repaired, replaced or reconstructed,
so long as its external dimensions do not exceed those of the facility
that is being repaired, replaced or reconstructed and the project
otherwise complies with applicable state and municipal regulations.
(4) A new boathouse may be constructed, provided that it will not be
constructed in or over wetlands or public waters, and provided further
that each of the following criteria is met:
(a)
The lot on which it is to be constructed has shore frontage
on Lake Winnipesaukee;
(b)
The lot on which it is to be constructed meets the minimum shore frontage requirement of §
175-63 of this Zoning Ordinance;
(c)
There is no other boathouse on the lot;
(d)
The footprint of the boathouse will not exceed 900 square feet;
(e)
The height of the boathouse will not exceed 20 feet;
(f)
The applicant has received a permit from the New Hampshire Department
of Environmental Services;
(g)
The applicant has received a special use permit from the Planning
Board or designee, which shall consider the recommendation of the
Conservation Commission prior to rendering a decision; and
(h)
The project must otherwise comply with all applicable state
and municipal regulations.
Uses which may be permitted by special exception shall be as
follows:
A. One home occupation, 500 square feet or less.
